PUMP.

Locarno.

To all whom it may] concern Be it known that we, HERBERT Gr. Moss and WALTER CrrArriUs. both citizens of the United States, residing at Maricopa, in the county of Kern and State of California, have invented a new and useful Pump, of which the following is a specification.

@ur invention relates to pumps and particularly to those adapted to operate in deep wells. In pumps of this character the valves are ordinarily arranged so that they may be lifted from the well and readily separated for purposes of repair. When operating, however, it is essential that they be preventi ed from so separating, and the principal object of our invention is to provide a con struction that will permit a ready separation of the valves outside the well and at the same time prevent accidental separation when in operation.

Other objects and advantages will appear from the following specification.

Referring to the drawings, which are for illustrative purposes only: Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of our invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan on the line a02- m2 in Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan on the line ac3- w3 of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. i is a sectional plan on the line n64-m4 of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. 5 is a sectional plan of an alternative form of our invention.

In the drawings, 1 is a pump barrel adapted to screw into the casing of the well, not shown, at its upper end 2 and into the extension 3 at its lower end 1. This barrel 1 is preferably made of wrought steel and is machined out to fit a plunger 5 which is screwed to and carried by an upper cage 6 which has an opening 7 therein closed by a ball 8. The upper cage 6 is provided with a connection 9 for the attachment of the pump rod not shown.

The lower end ofthe plunger 5 is threaded to receive the lower plunger nut 10. Sliding loosely in an opening 11 in this nut 10 is a lifting rod 12 provided with a head 13. The opening 11 is of such shape that the liquid to be pumped can flow 'freely by the rod 12 as shown in Fig. 3, but the rod is restrained from turning.

Serial No. 771,353.

The lower end of the lifting rod 12 is secured to a lower cage 11i which incloses a ball 15. This cage 1l has a threaded opening 16 into which is screwed a stem 17. The stem 17 has an upper cylindrical portion 18, a central annular portion 19, and a squared extension 20. Leather washers 21 are clamped between the annular portion 19 and the lower face 22 of the lower lifting cage lei- The stem 17 has an. opening Q3 therein on the ripper edge of which the ball 15 seats.

Screwed firmly to the lower end of the extension 3 is a lower cage seat 241 preferably formed of wrought steel and having a conical seat 95 engaged by the leather washers 21. The lower cage seat Q41 has a square opening Q6 into which [its the squared extension 20. The lower end Q7 of the lower cage seat Q4 is threaded to receive a well casing not shown.

In the alternative form shown in Fig. 5 we employ ay plunger 5 and parts upon the upper end thereof as in Fig. 1. IVe also use a liftingl rod 12 passing through an opening in the lower plunger nut 10 as in Fig. 1. In place, however, of using an extension 3 threaded into the pump barrel 1 we use an extended pump barrel 30 and fasten a lower cage seat 31 to the pump barrel 30. W'e can further utilize existing lower cage seats 31 of the form shown in Fig. 5 by screwing a fitting 32 into the lower end thereof. This fitting 32 is provided with a square hole 33 for receiving an extension 3ft. This extension 34tmay be made integral with the stem as in Fig. 1. or it may screw into a stem 35 at 3G as shown in Fig. 5. In either case an opening 37 is provided therein.

The method of operation of either form is the same. Referring to the form shown in Fig. l a casing, not shown, being screwed in the pump barrel 1 at the upper end thereof and intothe lower cage seat Q4 at the lower end thereof, the lower cage seat 2li, the extension 3 and the pump barrel 1 are stationary. The lower cage 14 is firmly seated in the lower cage seat 9i. The pump rod, not shown, attached to the connection 9 being reciprocated, the plunger 5 is reciprocated. On the down stroke liquid passes up-.

wardly through the upper cage (3, the ball 8 being lifted from its seat on the opening 7 to allow of this passage. The ball 15 meanwhile closes the opening 23. When the plunger 5 reverses its motion, the ball 8 seats and the ball 15 lifts. The extension 20 is made sufliciently long so that it is never entirely withdrawn from the square hole in the lower cage seat 24 during normal operation of the pump. The action is that of the common lifting pump. The parts described above are, however, located at the bottom of a deep casing and it is necessary that some provision be made for removing them for inspection and repair. This is the function of the lifting rod 12. The parts are so proportioned that the lower plunger nut 10 never quite touches the head 18 on the lifting rod 12 during the normal operation of the pump. The lower cage 14 thus remains in position.

Then it is desired to lift out both cages the pump rod is pulled up and the head 13 is engaged by the lower plunger nut 10, and the lower cage 14 with its attached parts is withdrawn.

The casing, the extension 3, and the pump barrel 1 may be rigidly fastened together and will not work loose. In a similar manner the plunger 5 and the parts secured thereto may be securely fastened as there is little need for unfastening them. The lower cage 14, however, having leather packing often needs attention and it must be detachably secured to the lifting rod 12. It is to prevent the detachment at this joint that the lifting rod 12 is made flat and the extension 20. is made square, and it is evident that the form of the parts prevent any turning with the consequent detachment.

What we claim is:

1. A pump comprising a pump barrel adapted to be screwed onto the casing of a well, a pipe extension screwed into said pump barrel, a lower cage seat adapted to be screwed onto said pipe extension and having a conical seat therein terminating in ay square opening, a hollow plunger sliding in4 said pump barrel, an upper cage screwed into the upper end of said plunger, having an opening therein in o-pen communication with the interior of said plunger, a;
